Bill Summary
Create a new section of KRS Chapter 281A to require the Transportation Cabinet to promulgate emergency and ordinary administrative regulations to extend the allowable time length a limited CDL in accordance with the maximum length allowed under 49 C.F.R sec. 383.3; EMERGENCY.
AI Summary
This bill allows the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to create new rules, both immediate (emergency) and standard (ordinary administrative regulations), to extend the maximum time a limited Commercial Driver's License (CDL) can be used. This extension is intended to align with federal regulations found in 49 C.F.R. sec. 383.3, specifically a provision that, as of the bill's effective date, permits an increase in the allowable usage period for restricted CDLs for drivers in farm-related industries from 180 days to 210 days within a 12-month period. The bill declares an emergency because the federal change occurred in September 2022, and the Cabinet had not yet acted to implement it, making immediate action necessary for compliance.
